Harold Camping dead at 92

[Doubting Thomas]

I used to hear him on shortwave, and at the time I didn't know what his name was (I didn't bother to sit and listen to his whole show) but I called him "Brother Sominex" because his voice was always this droning monotone going on and on about religion. I didn't learn his name until he made the May 21, 2011 prediction.

I still have the recording I made of WYFR's May 21 broadcast claiming that "This day has to be the day of the rapture" and giving reasons for it, mainly that Harold Camping has studied the bible for a long, long time.

I seem to recall that once the original date passed he came up with a new one that was about 6 months later - anyone else remember that?

Actually he initially predicted that the rapture would happen on May 21 and the tribulation would begin, ending with the end of the world on October 21. After May 21 came and went, he claimed it was a "spiritual rapture" and not a physical, fly-me-up-to-heaven rapture. Then after Oct. 21 came and went, he admitted that he was completely baffled and vowed to get out of the doomsday prediction game.

Of course all that was quickly forgotten with all the stupid Dec. 21, 2012 doomsday crap being hyped up the next year.
